Skip it if you…

- Players looking for long matches may find the short gameplay sessions limiting.
Our take on A Clumsy Flight
The likely bounce point is the escalating enemy flow: players who cannot keep dodging while choosing upgrades may find the run snowballs into a crash. Short matches also leave little room for a slower pace.
What is A Clumsy Flight?
A Clumsy Flight is a 2D action roguelike built around dodging and shooting enemy planes.
Each run changes the experience and can shift the player’s approach. Destroyed aircraft grant XP, which can be spent on equipment upgrades or weapon modifications, while bosses provide another way to improve the plane. Between runs, players can select planes with different stats and quirks, such as a fast model for slipping through gaps or a tougher one that withstands incoming fire. Weapons also have different stats, projectiles, and abilities.
Upgrades can add perks, abilities, or helpers. The game uses free-flowing movement and a free camera, with short matches and retro pixel art. Its central challenge is choosing upgrades as enemy numbers build during a flight.
